I am really anticipating the Ewok battle pack with all new Ewok characters in it coming as an exclusive to TRU.

Each movie has some options left for getting out kind of obscure or not-well-known characters that haven't been made before.

What are you interested in?

Here's my list:

TPM:

Naboo - Soldier in green jumpsuit (perhaps Asian), black ethnic variation on Security, handmaiden in purple (Senate), white officer (similar uniform to Panaka's), black pilot (Bravo 2 I think). They still have the woman pilot (Bravo 3 left) and an astromech could add a droid. But some variation of this possibility. Add the Hanger Droid and various Naboo weapons like ascension guns, Naboo rifles, and the throne hold-out pistols, etc.

Pod Racers - just like the current set, but have Ark "Bumpy" Roose, Wan Sandage, Adar Beedo, Bolls Rohr, and Elan Mak (spelling) or something like that group. Maybe add a pit droid or the folded up prop of one and some of the stuff from the old E1 Pod Racer Accessory Pack that was very hard to find.

You could also do an all-Padme pack again, but this time no TPM figures:

Yellow waterfalls, packing, Senator, AOTC nightgown with kohouon creatures, deleted scene, Lars' garage, pregnant Padme Senator (Palpatine's speech), Rumintions, office Padme (ROTS from Anakin's visit with her headpiece), and I'm sure I forgot a few but I was trying not to retread on ones I suggested above. Thing is, some of the AOTC figures would make great carded figure choices for Padme (yellow waterfalls and Naboo Senator or Packing, especially - maybe her Senator outfit from ROTS).

Okay.

TPM
Anakin's Friends (Kitster, Wald, naked Threepio OR Braces Girl) by the Pod
I agree about the Senators (especially Grebleips)

AOTC
Lost Planet (Yoda OR Obi-Wan with two younglings)

ROS
?

ANH
Might have as much chance of a Tonnika as E.T.
Droids For Sale (3 various Jawa sandcrawler droids)

The reason they're able to make packs like the Ewoks and Yavin Pilots is that much of the tooling is reused, with the only new parts being heads and accessories (except for the all-new Porkins). Some of the previous sets (like Force Unleashed-related ones or the Republic Commando set) have had more new figures, but still reused some parts. These sets have five figures, unlike the bizarre 2012 battle packs (which aren't coming back in 2013). That said, there are a few they could easily do:

Death Star Hangar (ANH)
*Imperial Navy Commander (repack of Vintage figure)
*Imperial Scanning Crew (unreleased variant)
*Stormtrooper (repack)
*Imperial Power Droid (seen in background of Death Star - could use lower half from Special Action Figure set Power Droid)
*Imperial Astromech Droid (repaint of build-a-droid sculpt, based on ROTJ R2 or R5 design)

I'll post more later. I love me some speculative lists. :p

ANH: Those were the droids we were looking for: Crispy Owen and Beru and a pile of burning Jawas. Maybe a sandtrooper thrown in for good measure. Seriously, I would buy this and I think a lot of other people would too.

ANH: Why don't we get drunk and...: Tonika Sister (yeah right, but we can always dream) and Han's girlfriend from the cut scene

EU: EU all-stars: Guri; Jaxxon; and Jorrus C'Boath

I like the idea of a night at the opera from ROTS and imperial dignitaries packs from ROTJ.
